Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve elementary school children’s English reading literacy through a community-based picture book approach. The program was conducted intensively for one month in Kedungarum Village and involved 25 children aged 9–12 years. The intervention applied visual literacy strategies by integrating text and illustrations through shared reading, interactive storytelling, and post-reading activities. A pre-test and post-test design was used to measure participants’ reading comprehension, focusing on vocabulary mastery, main idea identification, and literal comprehension. The results showed a significant increase in the average score from 41.6 in the pre-test to 72.4 in the post-test, indicating an improvement of 30.8 points. Observational findings also revealed increased student participation, reading confidence, and positive attitudes toward English reading activities. The small-group, community-based model enabled more intensive interaction and individualised feedback, thereby enhancing the intervention's effectiveness. Although differences in participants’ initial abilities posed minor challenges, the overall findings suggest that short-term literacy interventions using picture books can effectively enhance English reading skills among elementary school children. This model can be replicated in similar community settings to strengthen early foreign language literacy development.

Abstract

The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy requires higher education institutions to manage student learning activities in an integrated and efficient manner. However, MBKM data management still faces several challenges, including unintegrated administrative processes, delayed document verification, and limited access to course recognition information. These issues reduce efficiency and hinder effective academic management. This study aims to develop an integrated MBKM student data management information system based on user needs. This study employs a prototyping approach that enables iterative system development through continuous user involvement, from requirement analysis to system evaluation. Data were collected through questionnaires involving 1,645 respondents and supported by interviews to identify system requirements. The results show that the developed system successfully integrates MBKM management processes, including program data, document management, student activities, and reporting within a web-based platform. Functional testing using black-box testing achieved a 100% success rate, while User Acceptance Testing (UAT) yielded an average score of 87.6%, indicating a very good level of user acceptance. This study contributes by proposing a user-centered prototyping-based model for developing integrated MBKM information systems, which enhances data management effectiveness in higher education institutions. The findings indicate that the proposed system is feasible for real-world implementation in higher education environments.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited engagement of EFL students in Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) during reading activites, particularly their difficulty in moving beyond literal comprehension toward analysis, evaluation, and creation. At the same time, the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language learning offers potential as a cognitive scaffold; however, its pedagogical role in fostering HOTS in EFL reading remains underexplored, especially in contexts where AI is often used merely as an answer provider. Therefore, this study aims to explore English Education students’ experiences in developing HOTS through AI-supported reading activities at Universitas Kuningan. Using a qualitative case study design, the study involved 31 students enrolled in an intensive reading course. Data were collected through reading tasks conducted with and without AI assistance, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews, and were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings show that without AI support, students predominantly demonstrated literal comprehension and relied on copying textual information. In contrast, when AI was used as a reflective tool, students actively compared responses, evaluated arguments, and reconstructed their understanding, indicating the development of analyzing (C4), evaluating (C5), and creating (C6) processes. AI functioned as a cognitive scaffold that promoted deeper cognitive engagement; however, challenges such as overreliance on AI and concerns about response validity were also identified. The study concludes that AI can support HOTS development in EFL reading only when it is integrated reflectively and pedagogically, rather than used as an instant answer generator, and highlights implications for designing more effective AI-supported reading instruction in higher education contexts.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented to address low digital literacy among rural youth and to provide limited access to Artificial Intelligence (AI) training. Although smartphone usage among teenagers is quite high, it remains largely focused on entertainment and social media, so the productive use of digital technology has not developed to its full potential. To address this, the activity was carried out with youth from Pajawan Kidul Village, Lebakwangi District, Kuningan Regency, aiming to improve their basic understanding of AI and digital literacy skills in rural areas. The implementation method used a participatory approach through socialization, AI practice, mentoring, project-based learning, and evaluation using pre- and posttests. During this process, participants received training on using various AI-based applications, including ChatGPT, QuillBot, Canva AI, and Tome AI. In total, 30 village youth were involved in all program activities. As a result, the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of AI concepts and their application in daily activities. The average score of participants increased from 57.44 before the training to 82.66 after the activity ended, an increase of approximately 43.9%. Notably, there was significant growth in participants' understanding of how AI can support more productive activities. Beyond improving participants' skills, this activity led to five AI-based mini-projects and the formation of the "Youth Tech Club Pajawan Kidul" learning community to sustain digital learning in the village. In summary, AI training that emphasizes hands-on practice and a contextual approach can be an effective way to strengthen digital literacy while reducing the technology gap among rural youth.

Abstract

Reading literacy is a central challenge for students with intellectual disabilities, affecting skills such as letter recognition, vocabulary comprehension, and meaning retention. In Indonesian special schools, the problem is exacerbated by limited adaptive computer-based learning media and the lack of quantitatively evaluated digital interventions. To address this, the study designs and evaluates a computer-based digital animation video learning system developed using accessibility-focused human–computer interaction and multimedia learning theory. This system was implemented as a software-based intervention and evaluated with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving thirteen students with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. Quantitative analysis included validity and reliability testing, paired samples t-test, effect size calculation, and normalized gain (N-gain) analysis. Results show significant improvement in reading literacy after the intervention. The N-gain score was high at 0.7038, and the effect size was very large, demonstrating strong educational effectiveness. These findings highlight the promise of computer-based animated video systems as effective, scalable technologies for inclusive education. The study offers a replicable framework for combining multimedia system design and quantitative evaluation in educational technology for learners with cognitive disabilities.
